The European Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) will celebrate its 15 years anniversary on the 19 March 2019 in Brussels, Belgium.
The main themes on the agenda are:
Since its creation in 2004, ENISA has been working closely with the European institutions, EU countries, and the industry to make Europe’s cyberspace safer and a more secure environment for all.
With a continuous increase in the number of connected devices, globalisation, and the digital economy, the need to keep advancing and building bridges together in the cybersecurity field is more relevant than ever.
ENISA will celebrate this important milestone in the presence of Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for digital economy and society.

The European Commission is the executive body of the EU and runs its day-to-day business. It is made up of the College of Commissioners, 27 European Commissioners, one for each member state, who are each responsible for one or several policy areas. In addition, the 'Commission' also refers to the entire administrative body that supports the Commissioners, consisting of the Directorates-General and the Services.
The European Commission is the sole EU body capable of proposing new legislation. The Commission also performs an oversight function, monitoring whether European legislation is properly implemented in the member states. In the event of non-compliance, the Commission can coerce a member state to comply by starting a legal procedure at the European Court of Justice.
